ReviewRobotic vs. Standard Laparoscopic Technique - What is Better?
Laparoscopic surgery is subject to certain limitations that can be a problem when performing complex minimally invasive operations.

The question therefore arises whether robotic surgery leads to significantly better results compared with standard laparoscopic surgery. ⋯ To evaluate the future role of the robotic technique for visceral surgery, high-quality prospective randomized trials are urgently needed.
